Anaheim: WorldMark vs. Dolphin's Cove

President's Week '13. Trying to decide between a 2BR at WorldMark Anaheim (put on hold today) and a 3BR at Dolphin's Cove (confirmed, but with cancel protection). Party of four: the two of us, daughter (14) and son (12).

WM pros: reviews are more consistent/positive, in-unit washer/dryer, central air, rooftop deck, lower trade power (27 vs. 32).

DC pros: Kids guaranteed separate real beds (WM has some 2BRs with a single Queen in 2nd BR), no slow elevator hassles, no transient occupancy tax. Saturday checkin (vs. Friday).

I'm leaning to WM, even though in February the central air is probably not an issue, but would be interested to hear from anyone who has recent experience in both.

Been to Dolphins cove not Worldmarkm its an ok place, nothing fancy. Would like to know if Worldmark is closer (walking distance) to the park.

google maps says five minutes, but many people at DC just walk to the Toy Story lot and hop a Disney shuttle there.

I ended up sticking with DC, by the way. The Saturday check-in and larger unit size won out.

We stayed at Dolphin's Cove and thought it was okay. Timeshares in that area are hard to find, and Dolphin's Cove is about as close as you are going to get to Disneyland. If it were located anywhere else, it would be just average.
